The syntax has changed. Assuming you are trying to disable InnoDB so that you can use the MyISAM storage provider instead, here's how you do that. Instead of skip-innodb, put

innodb=OFF
default_storage_engine=MyISAM

in your /etc/mysql/my.cnf (under the [mysqld] section). Note that you need both: the new syntax for disabling InnoDB is innodb=OFF, but you also need to specify some other default storage engine to replace InnoDB. To verify that this has been successful, restart MySQL and run

None of those options are available in current mysql packages. Having any of those would cause mysql to fail to start. If you want to see the error, you can run mysqld by itself by hand as root in a shell, and I'd expect to see it die when it encounters the first of these invalid options.

You can get a list of the available config parameters by running mysqld --help --verbose on the command line. mysqld --help --verbose | grep skip should also confirm that these options are no longer available.
